Standing Still

Standing Still

Let me stand still today
Not like those tempting times
That I've rushed by my side
Done much of the same
Over and over again

Let me stand still today
The rolling stone in the bowl
Mossed and taken to a rot
Confined in its run
Over and over again

Let me stand still today
In a ten thousand souled river
As they brush by my hide
Take me in their rush
Over and over again

Let me stand still today
Its something new that I do
Over and over again

I Heard Nothing

I Heard Nothing

A stream of pictures
Still, captured moments
Drifting by
Somewhere

My bed is the lawn
Softly jagged, cropped
I drift away
To dreamland

The pictures
They are talking here
I see you
Living through everything
Calling out
To me, like you always did
But I heard nothing

A tear leaves my eye
The last, ever
Trickles away
Salt-water

It’s been a while now
What were the last words?
What was it you meant?
I heard nothing

I read what you wrote
Yesterday, then today again
I read it like I do, of you
I heard nothing
